Capital works completion a highlight for annual report

Published on 06 November 2025

Council’s annual report for the 2024-2025 financial year has been released and is now available to view.

The annual report is a broad showcase of Council’s 2024-2025 performance against the strategic objectives set out in the Council Plan 2021-2025 and the Annual Budget 2024-2025.

More than 80 per cent of the priority actions in the annual action plan are either completed or on track for completion, and Council is in a strong financial position, with no new borrowings for the year. 

Chief Executive Officer Carl Cowie said the outcomes captured in the Annual Report reflect Council’s focus on delivering positive results.

“As we navigate challenges and opportunities, our organisation remains committed to servicing our community,” Mr Cowie said.

“Mindful fiscal management, successful advocacy outcomes and a dedicated workforce help ensure our success as a council. I look forward to the next year and the implementation of our recently adopted Council Plan 2025-2029,” he said.

Incoming Chief Financial Officer Bulent Oz said Council is maintaining a strong financial performance while prioritising service delivery and strategic objectives.

“Council is in a sound financial position, despite an often unpredictable economic landscape,” Mr Oz said.

“It is an ongoing challenge for all councils to maintain and improve service delivery within resourcing constraints and as such we will continue to advocate to all levels of government to support the short- and long-term needs of the Nillumbik community,” he said.
